Fast Cure Screeds

QUICK DRYING SCREEDS WITH MAXIMUM STRENGTH

Hand-laid or pumped fast-cure polymer screeds provide a number of key advantages over alternatives such as concrete. Compared to other surface applications, these systems can be installed quickly, which is particularly advantageous where a total base build-up is required or falls to drains are being constructed. The curing time is minimal and the installed surface can usually be overlaid in just 24 hours. These screeds have a very high tensile strength and SBR screeds can be formulated to offer waterproof finishes

HAND-LAID SBR POLYMER SCREEDS

Hand-laid SBR screeds are typically laid on small projects that require the floor to be enveloped or sloped to accommodate drainage. While these systems take longer to install than pumped screeds as they are laid by hand, the formulation cures very quickly

PUMPED SCREEDS

When minimal downtime is essential, using a pumped screed is the best way to install your floor. Pumped screeds are appropriate for busy production areas because they can be installed during short shutdown periods

Quick Curing

Curing times for polymer screeds are considerably quicker than for standard concrete; surfaces can be overlaid in a matter of days instead of weeks, and downtime is minimised

Quick Installation

Pumped screeds enable large areas to be installed in a short space of time

High Performance

These screeds offer considerable advantages over concrete, including minimal shrinkage, less risk of cracking, improved flexibility, greater strength and better impact, abrasion and frost resistance. For thinner, bonded screeds, performance is significantly improved

permeable

Waterproof and Water-resistant

To reduce the permeability of the installed surface, systems can be formulated to incorporate waterproofing and water-resistant properties

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Wet rooms
Dairies
Food production areas
Changing rooms
Automotive facilities

INSTALLATION

The surface is prepared via scabbling or diamond grinding to achieve the necessary key for installation. The dust is removed using an industrial vacuum and any surface repairs are carried out. The surface is then primed. For hand-laid SBR polymer screeds, a crete angle mixer is used to blend the formulation prior to application. A screed pump is used for larger, open areas. The screed is laid to the desired thickness and left to cure

"Coatech have been involved in several projects ranging from minor repairs to the replacement of entire departmental floors undertaken during periods of production shutdown when accurate planning and scheduling were critical. Your work has always been completed to high standards of quality, on time, to agreed costs and in a prompt and professional manner"
